Ella Marilyn William

Professor Ella Marilyn Williams rejoined the mathematics faculty in 2013 after serving several years as a Math Learning Specialist and Adjunct Professor for UDC prior to her relatively recent return as a faculty member. Professor Williams’ love of teaching math and working with the underserved has been the impetus for working beyond her retirement years. Her extensive math experience spans over fifteen years with UDC and over thirty years as a mathematics teacher in the District of Columbia Public Schools as well. During her tenure as a public school math teacher, Ms. Williams was recognized for six years in Who’s Who Among America’s Teachers for her teaching practices.

Professor Williams’ helpful nature and disposition make her a natural fit for students seeking extra help in the Center for Academic and Career Education (CACE), where she can regularly be found providing supplemental instruction for UDC-CC students. With her return to the classroom at UDC-CC, Professor Williams has become a sought out “go-to” faculty member teaching such courses as Intermediate Algebra, Basic Mathematics, General College Mathematics, and the corequisite pairing of Intro to Algebra with General College Mathematics.

Ms. Williams’ career in education began at Bennett College (Greensboro, NC). There she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Education (Mathematics Concentration). Later, she would earn a Master’s degree at North Carolina University. At Trinity University and the University of the District of Columbia, Professor Williams would continue her education with post graduate work in mathematics. In the fall of 2017, Ms. Williams completed training in The Association of College and University Educators’ (ACUE) course on Effective College Teaching, thus earning the designation of “Dean’s Teaching Fellow” and this noteworthy American Council on Education (ACE) recognized credential.
